I have tried to download this numerous times, but it always fails at some point, even when using a download manager. So i was wondering if it’d be possible to get it the zip file from somebody via Dropbox et al
Mr. Draconis, again, I apologize. As I explained to you last night via PM, at the time that I followed Immortal’s advice to use Free DL Manager, you had not posted anything here yet… it was only after I had successfully used that app, and had returned here to thank him, that I saw your post. I understand your annoyance – I should have posted something along the lines of “Thanks, Immortal, I’ll try that” so you or anybody else would know not to send the file via DropBox et al. MY BAD!
Dropbox is a cloud service that offers online data storage and sharing. I use it a lot for university work because you can share folders with other people. You can install the application on your PC/mac and whenever you change a file in your dropbox folder locally, the change will be uploaded and reflected on all PC’s that have access to that dropbox folder. Very useful to automatically synchronise files across multiple computers, or even my phone! You can also share files in your dropbox to other people that don’t have dropbox by sending them a direct link to the file.
The free version offers 2GB storage if I’m not mistaken, you can expand this up to 16GB with referrals. Paid versions are from 100GB+, the pricing is fair imo.
If you want to sign up, use this link: Dropbox.com
That gets me an additional 500MB
Aloha S,
And thanks soooo much for the info.
Doesn’t sound like something I’d ever use but if will get you
more space by me just signing up,
I’ll definitely look into it.
I didn’t look really deep into security, but by default, your files are only accessible by the one holding the password for that account. If you decide to make a file publicly available, then it will generate a link to that specific file only, which you can send to whoever you want to have access to that file. This is just for downloading the file, they cannot change the file on your account.
When you share an entire folder, then that folder will only be accessible by those dropbox accounts that you invited to join that folder.
